Create a file link in Lotus Notes

Im trying to create and email on Lotus Notes with a link to a file thats on a server. Im following the help and googled advice but cant get it to work.

When i do this

In the body field of a memo, type in the normal path that you want to point to, i.e. h:\data\files\info.doc - highlight this data path and use Ctrl+C to copy to clipboard. Whilst the data path is still highlighted, goto the Notes Create menu item - then to Hotspot - then to link hotspot.

In the Value field on the Link Hotspot Resource dialog box, past the clipboard datapath contents (Ctrl+V) - finally click on the little tick mark to the right of the value vield.

close the dialoge box.

The highlighted text is now blue in colour. I send the email to myself and I should now be able to click on the Link hotspot in order to open the file h:\data\files\info.doc.


for some reason it always errors with "Invalid URL"

Any clues?
